Poetry Semi Finals

Today is our poetry semi finals.  Do you have any words of advice for our semi finalists or words of encouragement?  My advice is - be loud, slow down and be proud.  

Magic e with i

We are learning about the magic e.  This week we are looking at the magic e with i.
Can you write some words that have the magic e with i eg pin to pine?

Art Gallery Visit Today!!

Room 17 is visiting the art gallery today with Mrs Graham.  We are leaving at 11.10am.  Don't forget to wear sensible walking shoes and bring a booster seat if you are 6 years old and it looks like it will rain.  (Mrs Board said it won't and she is our weather expert!)

What shape is your kite and what are you most proud of with your art at the gallery?

Hamilton Zoo

We are going to the zoo on Wednesday!  What are you most excited our trip to the zoo?  I can't wait to see the giraffes.  I hope we get to feed them some carrots.

The Olympic Games

The Olympic Games are nearly finished.  There has been lots of coverage of the games on TV.  What would be one of the most special moments of these games that you will remember?  For me it is the courageous Nikki Hamblin who stopped and helped another runner finish the race after they tripped up.
